Last modified
CVE-2026-32048 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.9/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 fail to enforce sandbox inheritance during cross-agent sessions_spawn operations, allowing sandboxed sessions to create child processes under unsandboxed agents. An attacker with a sandboxed session can exploit this to spawn child runtimes with sandbox.mode set to off, bypassing runtime confinement restrictions.. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
